The effect of secondary metabolites secreted by plants on the growth and development of other plants that come after them or in the same environment, positively or negatively, is called allelopathy. This study aimed to determine the allelopathic effect of extracts obtained from forage turnips (Brassica rapa L.) on the germination and seedling development of the grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) plant. 500 g of forage turnip harvested during the flowering period was weighed, placed in 3 liters of pure water, and waited for 7 hours. Four different doses (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%) were obtained from this extract. The 100% pure water was used as a control. The study, which was carried out as a petri study, was established according to the Randomized Plot Trial Design with 4 repetitions. Germination rate (GR), seed viability index (SVI), root and stem length, root and stem fresh-dry weight, root (RB), and stem biomass (SB) were determined in the grass pea irrigated with forage turnips. In the study, GR and SVI were between 72.00-96.00% and 24.98-49.38%, respectively. The highest root (61.83 kg/ha) and stem (1780.84 kg/ha) biomass weight was obtained from the treatment irrigated with 25% forage turnip extract. As a result, it was determined that 25% of the forage turnip extract had a positive effect on germination and seedling development of the grass pea, and after this dose, it had an inhibitory effect. This situation is also an indication that fodder turnip has a negative allelopathic effect on grass pea due to its rich bioactive component content. Accordingly, lower doses should be tested to understand more clearly the effect of fodder turnip on the development of the grass pea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Legumes are typically challenging to ensile due to their low concentration of water-soluble carbohydrates and high capacity for buffering. If legumes and medicinal plants are ensiled together, the silage quality increases, which benefits the digestive system of ruminates. The aim of this study was to research the effects of different alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and hops (Humulus lupulus L.) ratios on silage quality and in vitro rumen fermentation traits. The plant materials were chopped to a particle size of <2 cm; then alfalfa (A) and hops (H) were ensiled in ratios of 100A + 0H, 75A + 25H, 50A + 50H, 25A + 75H and 0A + 100H by weight with 4 replicates. Fresh silage samples were left to ferment for 45 days at 25 ± 2 °C. Subsequently, it was observed that hops added to alfalfa improved the silage’s fermentation qualities. At a 75A + 25H ratio, the silage quality increased due to having a lower pH and dry matter ratio as well as increased values for Flieg score, crude protein, relative feed, and condensed tannin concentration. A higher proportion of alfalfa in the silage mixture increased methane (CH4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and decreased lactic acid (LA). Comparing 50A + 50H and 25A + 75H silages to 100A + 0H, the CH4 production was 26.19% and 27.80% lower, respectively, and the CO2 production decreased by 25.61% and 28.15%, respectively. Consequently, the 50A + 50H and 25A + 75H silage ratios are advised for feeding ruminants. Furthermore, more research with different forage combinations is required to understand how hops influence rumen fermentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the study was to determine silage yield and quality of Hungarian vetch/forage pea (V/P) with rye (R) mixed in an intercropping system that provides maximum level of faulting from the field. The field experiment was conducted in 2021-2022 to examine the effects of different binary sowing ratio (20:80%R/P, 40:60%R/P, 60:40%R/P; 80:20%R/P; 20:80%R/V, 40:60%R/V, 60:40%R/V; 80:20%R/V, 100%R, 100%P, 100%V) in 3 replications. The treatments were harvested in July 2022 for silage, and hay yield and fresh yield were determined in the intercropping treatments before ensiling. On the same day, silages were filled by the same mix ratios in plastic cans. After fermentation, the dry matter ratio, pH, sucrose, crude protein, ADF, NDF, mineral matters and organic acid were defined in silages. Before ensiling the highest fresh and dry yield were obtained from 80:20%R/P. Yield values were decreased by increase of rye ratio in the mix. The dry matter, crude protein, lactic acid formation, the inhibition of undesirable micro-organisms and nutritional quality has been improved in rye silages prepared with H. vetch and F. pea contribute. Consequently, the combinations of the H. vetch and F. pea contribute to rye silage are complementary, and the intercropping of the binary combination made profitable forage yield and silage quality, according to sole treatments. The positive effects in the investigated parameters are in all mixed ratios, but, 80:20R/P, 60:40R/P and 80:20R/V silages were more superior to the others.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the silage quality of mistletoe (Viscum album L.) collected from wild pear (Pyrus amygdaliformis) and poplar trees (Populus canadensis) in January, July, August, and December. The fresh samples were chopped in 2 cm size and ensiled in 2 kg plastic bags then stored at 25 ± 2 °C conditions for 45 days. Silage samples were investigated for dry matter ratio, pH, crude protein ratio, crude ash ratio, condensed tannin, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, lactic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, malic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium contents. All quality traits of mistletoe silages were significantly different between host trees, collected times, and the interactions of host tree x collection time. It has been determined that mistletoe can be used as silage in terms of all the traits investigated. Besides, the silage of mistletoe collected from wild pear in December is better than other treatments. Mistletoe can be considered as an alternative roughage source due to its high content of crude protein, nutrient composition, easy digestibility, and organic acid content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Folklore is an interdisciplinary field which in contact with many scientists by taking "culture" into common denominator. Folk medicine is one of the study areas of folklore that workable a wide range of from tradition to literature, from kitchen to games. Folk medicine cited as alternative medicine, folkloric medicine and basically handled traditional treatment methods, can defined the whole set of applications against folk's problems related to health for centuries. Folk can be defined as the mass of "oral cultural environment" people because of substantially configures the majority of communication channels by word, bedect everything that adds to nature -also culture-with the elements that interact most in life. One of the most important of these elements is undoubtedly soil. The soil which is one of the main branches is also the natural cover of the earth, the source of nutrients and the source of life. In this study, examples will be given of the use of the soil which is a very precious place in folk culture, in traditional healing methods and cultural backgrounds of such uses will be tried to be interpreted.

In this study, maize and legume intercropping were evaluated in terms of silage yield and quality. Maize (Zea mays L. "M") was intercropped with soybean (Glycine max L. "S") and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. "C") as binary mixtues (maize + legume), and the seed rates were as follows: 100 + 0%, 75 + 25%, 50 + 50% and 25 + 75%. The harvested plants were chopped with the particle size of < 2, ensiled in 2 kg plastic jars and left fermentation at 25 ± 2 °C for 45 days. In this study, silage yield, dry matter ratio, pH value, crude protein ratio, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, digestibility of dry matter, dry matter intake, total digestibil nutrient relative feed values, lactic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, malic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium contents were determined. All the M + S mixtures showed high performance in terms of Flieg score and lactic acid content. The highest relative feed quality value was determined in the sole cowpea (156.4) and 25M + 75S% (148.5) mixture. As a result, intercropping maize with legumes resulted in superior silage quality without a reduction in yield. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The effects of smoke solutions derived from wheat straw on the germination, seedling growth characteristics, and biochemical content of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) were examined in this study. The smoke solutions were applied to petri and pot media at different concentrations. Both experiments were conducted in a randomized plot design with 3 replications. In the pot experiments, the smoke solutions were applied through the initial irrigation at 5 different concentrations (1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, and 40%) while 6 concentrations were used for petri experiments (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%, 10%) and results were compared to a control (distilled water). The smoke solutions increased root and shoot growth but decreased the germination rate and speed of grass pea in both media. In general, there were positive outcomes for the investigated traits with moderate concentrations of solution, but negative outcomes with low and high concentrations. The smoke solution treatments improved the shoot dry weighs, K, and protein contents, but decreased the acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber contents and the toxic component oxalyldiaminopropionic acid (ODAP). Accordingly, the smoke solutions stimulated the development of grass pea and promising outcomes were achieved in terms of high protein and low ODAP contents, which are the main targets of grass pea breeding studies. It was concluded, based on the present findings, that smoke solutions derived from wheat straw could be used as an environmentally friendly practice in grass pea culture to increase yield and quality. However, it should be kept in mind that concentration was a critical issue for ensuring the expected outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with refractive index detection was used for the rapid direct determination of inulin with adequate sensitivity, quantitative recoveries, no matrix interferences, and good precision without acidic or enzymatic pretreatment. This method was shown to be reliable by good correlation with acidic hydrolysis of inulin. The new method includes extraction of inulin with hot water in an ultrasonic bath at 70°C for 1 h, followed by direct determination of inulin, fructose, glucose, and sucrose and comparison with acidic hydrolysis of inulin to fructose and glucose by 0.2 mol L-1 hydrochloric acid at 80°C for 1 h. The released total fructose and glucose were also determined by HPLC. The concentration ranges of inulin from 20 samples were from 89.78 to 143.95 g kg-1. For fructose, glucose, and sucrose, the linear ranges were from 1.52 to 5.86, 0.09 to 1.95, and 3.52 to 8.59 g kg-1, respectively. The recoveries were from 80.75 to 110.90%. An internal standard of L-rhamnose was used to quantify free saccharides and total fructose and glucose. The limits of detection for fructose, glucose, sucrose, and inulin were 0.14, 0.20, 0.09, and 0.23 g kg-1, respectively, with average relative standard deviations of 1.05% for repeatability and 3.82% for reproducibility. Chicory root cakes contain many elements, 62.9 to 141.4 g kg-1 crude protein, and 37.6 to 61.2 g kg-1 ash, and are a suitable livestock feed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
